Why is this intel cpu more expensive than this AMD cpu?

I currently have a custom computer with this [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103727]AMD cpu[/url]. A friend of mine is asking for advice on a CPU but wants Intel brand, I found [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115232]this one[/url] with similar specs (cores, frequency, cache) to the AMD chip, but it costs $100 more. Why? Also any recommendations are welcome

  • Clock speed =/= performance by quite a long way anymore. Check out some benchmarks between the two CPUs and you'll quickly see why the intel one is more expensive. Is it worth the extra expense? Probably not.
